MySQL5.6 stuck on the process " attempting to start service " - mysql

I got a community server version of MySQL5.6 for windows7 32 bit.
and also downloaded windows installer for the same windows version.
Everything was prepared correctly.
I saw on a blog giving me a step-by-step manual for installing MySQL 5.6 on winodws7 32bit.
I did the instruction accordingly and it always stops processing in the phrase of starting service. I completely don't know what the problem is.
I googled it for like three hours and got nothing relevant to this problem.
It never processes any further without any kind of alerts, no matter how much I wait.
Please help me out.
My OS
Windows7 Ultimate K 32bit, Service Pack1

TURN OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
This was one of the only threads I could find on this issue and the current answers did not cut the mustard for me.
MySQL 5.6.21, both x86 and x64, did not want to get past "Starting Server" and would give me the "MySQL install taking longer than expected" message.
I tried all of the registry cleaner, folder deletions, etc to no avail.
I am running Windows 7 x64 and I finally decided to check the event viewer to find this:
0x80070422 turns out to be some unspecified firewall error and boom, it struck me like lightning.
I hope this post helps future visitors!

Have you installed other version of MySQL before? I have experienced this case ,but I installed MySQL5.5 and uninstalled it. I solved it by clearing regedit and deleting the folder of MySQL in the directory(C:\ProgramData.This directory is hidden by default in Windows.),then reinstalled it.

Follow this link http://tadeparti.com/pages/?page_id=808.
And do remember to delete everything under the C:\program files\mysql folder, including the odbc stuff if you have.

mysql installer did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation windows

I am trying to install MySQL 8.0.23 version from the download page. I ran the .msi file several times and every time, I got the error "mysql installer did not find packages in the current bundle suitable for installation windows". I tried to find a solution online for more than an hour and I could not get the resolution to problem. I even ran it through CMD using admin privileges and still no use. I am installing on a laptop with the following configuration.
Windows 10, 64Bit with 16GB RAM, i7 Hexacore, 1TB SSD.
Can someone please help?
I suspect there is currently a server issue or something on Oracle/MySQL's end, I have tried the 8.0.22 and 5.7.33 Web installers and neither of them are able to find the list of packages to install.
One solution is to download the larger offline installer.
First you must uninstall the MySQL Web Installer, this can be done by opening Apps & Features, finding MySQL Installer - Community and clicking Uninstall.
Then from the MySQL Downloads page, download the larger 400MB MSI installer, once launched you should see a list of Available Products to choose from
Uninstalling the "MySQL Installer - Community" and redownloading and installing the full installer ~422MB from Downloads page worked for me.
After wasting so much time, I find the solution to install MySQL 8 on Windows x64 (64-bit) system.
Run the msi installer
Next (Even it wouldn't work)
Go to below path instead
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Product Cache
Right click -> Install
mysql-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-c++-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-java-gpl-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-net-8.0.23.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-win32.msi
mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-32bit.msi
mysql-connector-python-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-documents-8.0.23.msi
mysql-examples-8.0.23.msi
mysql-router-8.0.23-winx64.msi
mysql-shell-8.0.23-windows-x86-64bit.msi
mysql-workbench-community-8.0.23-winx64.msi
If nothhing else works, click on Looking for Previous GA versions? and downloaded the one with 500 ~ MB and that did the job for me.
I had the same issues and tried the solutions above which none worked for me.
I did the following and it worked:
In Add/Remove programs from the control panel uninstall all MySQL entries.
Delete all MySQL folders from C:\Program Files\MySQL
Make a restart to your computer
Reinstall using the large MSI installer (more than 400MB)
I tried a lot of steps. Uninstalling and installing it again for current version 8.0.23.
Following steps fixed the below error for me:
No Packages error MySQL did not find packages in the current bundle
suitable for Installation No Compatible servers were found.
Step 1: At first, uninstall and remove MySQL. That includes, uninstalling completely and removing all the remaining MySQL folders from the system.
Step2: Restart the system. Go to the official MySQL website Downloads section. On reaching, install the 2nd MySQL version (the larger one) as shown in the tutorial.
mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi
After downloading, under Setup Type, you need to choose Developer Default and keep all other steps similar.
Same problem here.
I try on Windows 10 Home edition.
I also try with version 8.0.22: same error.
EDIT 1 18/01/21 : also with large MSI installer (more than 400MB)
EDIT 2 19/01/21 : The problem has fixed. This was probably a problem on the mysql download servers.
The solution in my case was uninstalling MySql Workbench and the installer and then running the installer msi from scratch!
Delete the (mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one and download the (mysql-installer-community-8.0.23.0.msi) one. If still not working, right click uninstall, and then right click install again. Worked for me.
I used the bigger download package, mysql-installer-community-8.0.30.0 with 450M. Then I see below image along the way, clicking "Add", then picked the workbench, then green button appeared to move to the right pane, then "execute". Workbench is then installed

No compatible servers were found - MySQL

I am trying to install MySQL Server, mysql-installer-community-8.0.19.0.msi, on Windows 10.
I download the latest version from
MySQl::MySQL Downloads
These are the screenshots:
I selected Full:
I think something went wrong here:
this usually happens because you did not install the requirements manually in the previous steps. I recommend that you uninstall and install back again. After that, you will click on these items to try to resolve them manually. It performs the installation of Visual C +++ 2019
check the image of the step
It turns out I was getting the error because MySQL server was not installed because it had a missing requirement, Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Packages, as I installed it. This error was removed.
I also came across the problem as you did.
And the reason was, as you guess, the check requirements section.
By pushing the button of Execute, some processes are conducted and
the problem is solved.

Deploy Qt MySql Application

I'm working on Win10 64bit with Qt5.10.1, VS2017, MySql 8.0(64it). Everything is fine in my computer. After I deploy my application on other computers, a error message "Driver not load" pop up.
I have checked many forums including two posts in stackoverflow, [Qt][QMYSQL] Deployed app - Driver not loaded
Deploying qt mysql application
But it doesn't work for me. The following are the dll files in my folder:
qsqlmysql.dll is included in the folder sqldrivers.
All of the platform, software, SDK are 64 bit. can anyone help me? thanks.
Thanks everyone who answer my question. I tried many methods and almost give up. I never used MySQL before and this time I choose the newest MySql 8.0.12. I ignore the procedure and post the solution directly:
Beside libmysql.dll and qsqlmysql.dll, other two *.dll files are also necessary (but no solution I searched refers to them): libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, they are located at MySql/bin/. For my computer, they are contained in the system path, while for other computers that do not install MySql, they lack these two. Thus, we need to copy them to the package as well.
For anyone who encounter the same problem, for example using the newest MySql 8.0, you can try this method.

mySQL 64 Bit Windows Compatibility Issue

I am currently having an issue with mySQL. The installation process seemed to have proceeded rather smoothly, but I run into an error whenever I attempt to start or shut down the server. The only way I can seem to start up the server is by reinstalling mySQL, and the only way I can shut it down is through the task manager.
Clicking on the "Stop (start) Server" button in the mySQL workbench gives me the following error:
Unsupported 16 bit application.
The program or feature "\??\C:\watcom-1.3\binw\sc.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64 bit Windows compatible version is available.
I've tried downloading a 64 bit version of watcom, but this has not solved my problem. I can't seem to figure out exactly what went wrong here, and would appreciate any advice.
I've attached a link below in case you'd like to see the original error message.

Unable to unistall mysql installer

I had some issues while installing MySQL the first time and it threw up some errors. When I tried to uninstall and reinstall I am unable to uninstall the MySQL Installer. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?
OS : Windows 7 (32 BIT)
I know this answer is a bit too late, but I've encountered the same problem, so I hope it could help others.
Steps:
Find the version of installed MySQL installer (I could not find specific version, so I used the installation date and downloaded the corresponding version in MySQL archived downloads page) and download it.
Run it and choose to uninstall all the components. The installer itself will still be installed.
Right click on the downloaded installation file (i.e. mysql-installer-web-community-5.7.17.0.msi) and choose "Uninstall".
did you try to uninstall MySQL Installer in Safe Mode?
If you don't know how to boot in Safe Mode follow these steps :
1- Start your computer
2- Press on the F8 key during all the time on booting
3- Safe Mode menu will appear and chose Safe Mode...
Then, go in your Control panel of windows and try to uninstall MySQL.
I think the problem is because MySQL is starting automatically when you log into windows. So, MySQL service is always running and when a service is running you can't uninstall it..
Hope it's help,
Dave
